> Did you give all the SSRIs an adequate trial? Have you tried buspar (it can help some)? You may need to try a MAOI which some people have success. I am not sure if Emsam works, but I've heard night and day stories with Nardil and Parnate
First, a comment on your name...are you a Chicago Bears fan? Or just a fan of the animal? I love the Chicago Bears personally, although I also like the animal.
Anyway, yes, the SSRIs were given quite lengthy trials unless I started having terrible symptoms where I simply could not take them anymore. For instance, Cymbalta made my heart race horribly.
I tried Buspar a while ago and it did nothing.
I think MAOI's are pretty much all I have left. But she wants me on either Seroquel XR or Abilify first. I guess I'll try the lose dose of Abilify?
Hoping for a miracle.
